Vida Glow Daily Essential Pro Collagen+ Review
Vida Glow’s Daily Essential Collagen was made for anyone looking for a faster collagen supplement to get glowier, hydrated, and firmer skin. Their most advanced formula yet, the Pro-Collagen sachets contains the smallest collagen peptide on the market for superior bioavailability, optimised collagen digestion, and anti-ageing effects. Let’s discover how it works and what it can do for you.
What are the benefits?
When I heard Vida Glow Essential Pro Collagen has double the amount of collagen compared to the original, I knew I had to have it. I’m obsessed with keeping my skin youthful, my hair healthy, and my nails strong. But another bonus of this supplement is digestive support, which again, I’m desperate to improve my gut health. This collagen supplement promises to help someone like me hit those goals, as the key benefits are:
- Fewer wrinkles, as the most impressive claim is the fact that it can reduce weeks by 42% in 21 days (1).
- If you had 100 wrinkles, you would have 58 left by the end.
- More hydrated skin, as 70% of women reported more hydrated skin in 14 days (2).
- Firmer skin, as 89% of women reported firmer skin in 21 days (1).

How does it work?
When chatting to the Vida Glow team on how Pro Collagen works, they told me that this powder is made purposely using the smallest molecular weight seen on the market (300 daltons), which accelerates results as well as protecting against the breakdown of collagenase while optimising bioavailability for accelerated and more targeted anti-ageing results.
Plus, the combination of collagen-targeting digestive enzymes boosts absorption further and increases collagen digestion by 17%. In addition, hyaluronic acid helps support skin hydration and moisturisation for plumper-looking skin.
What are the ingredients?
The full ingredient list is Natural Marine Collagen Tripeptide (83%)(2500mg), Inulin, Sodium Hyaluronate, Kiwi Fruit Powder (30mg), and Bromelains (12.5mg (30GDU). But I also love the fact each sachet contains 2.4g of protein!
Understanding the ingredients:
Natural Marine Collagen Tripeptide (83%)(Contains Fish)
- Marine Collagen: A type of protein that provides structure to skin, hair, nails, and joints, derived from marine sources, like fish.
- Tripeptide: A specific type of collagen molecule, composed of three amino acids linked together. This form is often considered easier for the body to absorb.
Inulin
- A type of soluble fibre found in many plants, known for its prebiotic properties, it helps promote the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut.
Sodium Hyaluronate
- A salt form of hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the body, hyaluronic acid is known for its excellent water-holding capacity, making it a popular ingredient in skincare and haircare products for hydration.
Kiwi Fruit Powder
- Contains vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants often added for its nutritional value and potential skin benefits.
Bromelains
- Enzymes derived from pineapple stems are known for their anti-inflammatory and digestive properties.
Note: It’s also gluten-free, dairy-free, and halal-certified. Vida Glow states that all of the ingredients are naturally derived.
What does it taste like?
It tastes like unfiltered water; there is no fishy taste. I also conducted a blind taste test in the office to get the team’s honest reaction, which you can watch below.
How do I use it?
You use one sachet a day and mix it with water or any other non-alcoholic drink. Lots of our team like to mix it with coffee.
For best results, ensure there’s at least 250ml and a max of 600ml of liquid. You need to stir it well to avoid clumping. I recommend an electric milk frother or a whisk for a quicker blend.
As a side note, you also need to keep it out of sunlight or anywhere it could get damp or wet.

Which Vida Glow collagen is for me?
- Natural Marine Collagen is best if you’re new to collagen and/or just starting to see early signs of skin ageing.
- Collagen Liquid Advance is best for busy people who want an easy and efficient collagen routine. It’s double the dose of Natural Marine Collagen and can be consumed straight from the sachet, on-the-go.
- Pro Collagen+: is best for advanced signs of ageing, such as deep wrinkles and lines, as it’s the most superior collagen complex in the collection.
